# I don’t know what else to do with this watermelon peperomia :( Leaves…

_Posted by juju on 2024-01-03_

I don’t know what else to do with this watermelon peperomia :(  
Leaves started blackening and falling sometimes the leaf was fine but the stem got black and they fall the ones that didn’t fall are droopy, when this started I thought it was too much water, them I thought not enough moisture, I tried so many different things, the app says it  
could be so many things its no help. I don’t know what else to do. Any tips? Should I give up on her?

Grow light? My guess would be too wet not enough light

Yeah makes sense I guess fall/winter in Vancouver is not enough light for this kind of plant :( I don’t have a way to add grow light here unfortunately. Thanks

I lost some hen and chicks and stonecrop due to that last winter. I live in WI so I get it.

I stuck mine in a north facing windowsill, and only water when it’s completely dry. It has a new leaf coming, so I think it’s bouncing back!
